3
Q
Finding ‘B’
A
- sub in everything you know.
- Solve
4
Q
Equation of a line
A
Y=mx+b
5
Q
Negative reciprocal
A
- Flip the fraction
- Change the sign
6
Q
How do you know what type of shape it is?
A
-Use slope >negative reciprocals= isosceles -length of line >isosceles 2 the same >equilateral all the same >scalene all different. -pythagreon Theorem For square root of length a^2 +b^ = square root of c^2

Q
Circle laws
A
(Centred at origin)
- x^2+y^2=r^2
-
8
Q

A
- equation of line that goes through another line.
- find mdpt of other line
- flip it as perpendicular bisector
- use y=mx+b
- sub in what is known
- solve for unknown
